9. OSS117

Jean Dujardin has a face perfectly engineered for spy comedy. He’s handsome but there’s also a rubbery quality that means he can switch from suave to ludicrous in the raise of an eyebrow. He may well be an actual cartoon. OSS117 is a sort of French version of Get Smart, with Dujardin an agent who seems to bungle his way to success. Even though the jokes are subtitled Dujardin’s work transcends language.
